Xdg-user-dirs is a tool to help manage “well known” user directories like the desktop folder and the music folder. It also handles localization (i.e. translation) of the filenames.
Install xdg-user-dirs by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--disable-documentation &&
make
Now, as the root user:
make install
Run ./configure --help for a full list of options.
--disable-documentation:
Disable the installation of the man pages.
